Aeros tough guy Staubitz claimed by Canadiens via re-entry waivers

Staubitz was picked up on re-entry waivers on Monday by the Montreal Canadiens (who need the toughness) prior to the NHL’s trade deadline. In four games with the Aeros, the forward went pointless with nine penalty minutes and a -5 rating

He is a veteran of 196 NHL games with the Wild and the San Jose Sharks and has posted 18 career points (eight goals, 10 assists) and 432 career PIM.
